[lwip-users] Re: [lwip] Ping flooding?

[Paul Sheer]

paulos works fine

its more a function of your NIC driver latency than anything else

in particular, i notice that one polling ethernet driver of ours
handles a flood ping at 10BaseT 1/2 duplex, although another
DMA+IRQ based driver (for a different chipset) does not, even
though the latter runs full duplex at 100BaseT.

(hmm on second thought, the 100BaseT would make it LESS able
to handle a flood ping, because it gets more packets)

go figure
